Wow, I like angine de poitrine, but they aren't doing anything that "no one has done before" and they aren't "playing with neurobiology and physics".
They're some math rock guys having fun with micro tones, a loop pedal, and papier mache outfits.
I like them too but a lot of the hype around them is unfortunately pretty cringe. Microtonal music is ancient but it took a couple of dudes in wacky outfits to bring it to the attention of normies and music journalists who act like it’s some crazy new thing they invented
tl;dr: their music is microtonal.
“Plays with neurobiology and physics” is stretching it a bit thin, much like referring to any experience as “physically altering your brain”
Except they exist in a lot of fucking non-Western musical traditions. This is such a clickbait article
Feels like the band paid for this article with how much unwarranted dicksucking it does.
Nah it reads more like "let's make science fun for the kids".
